Chapter 14 Review and Verification to Reap the Profits
The next day, the leaves outside the window were blown by the wind, making a crackling sound.
"Lu Jingchuan." Qin Yuqing lay flat on the bed, tilting her head to look at the world outside the window. At this moment, she found a bird with broken wings, which tried to climb to the top of the tree but eventually fell off the cliff.
"Did you notice anything during these three assassinations?"
Lu Jingchuan walked over from behind the screen. He sat beside Qin Yuqing's bed, placed a letter next to her and said, "I found it."
Qin Yuqing didn't pick up the envelope: "There is a bird with broken wings outside."
"What?" Lu Jingchuan looked out the window, but found no trace of the bird.
"Nothing." Qin Yuqing shifted his gaze from the window to Lu Jingchuan and said, "I'm a patient now, so General Lu, please read it to me."
Lu Jingchuan sighed and opened the envelope, pulling out the paper inside. His voice, as cold as an ice spring, echoed in the room: "The first and second assassinations were the emperor's work. The purpose was..."
"You want to expose my whereabouts so that people can kill me?" Qin Yuqing interrupted Lu Jingchuan with a cold laugh. She sighed helplessly, "Perhaps this is what the royal family is like."
"Who do you think it will be the third time?" Qin Yuqing suppressed her strange emotions. No matter what, this was not her home. She had parents who loved her in the modern world, and she wanted to return to the modern world.
"I can't guess, it's not written there." Lu Jingchuan said bluntly.
Qin Yuqing seemed to have heard something very funny. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Lu Jingchuan and asked, "You really can't guess, or you don't dare to guess."
Lu Jingchuan didn't say anything, but sometimes silence can be a kind of answer.
Qin Yuqing looked at Lu Jingchuan carefully, remembering the still somewhat immature boy in front of her: "You should make a choice."
"I've already made my choice." Lu Jingchuan's dark eyes said to only one person, "I chose you."
"Liar." Qin Yuqing said softly, and then naturally changed the subject, "Do you know Park Qinghe?"
The original book did not write about the relationship between the Park family and the Lu family, but from Park Qinghe's reaction when he heard the Lu family's reaction and his familiarity with Lu Jingchuan in his words, it is not difficult to see that the two have a good relationship.
"I've known each other since I was a child. My parents knew each other early on."
Sure enough, Qin Yuqing gradually had a guess that this world was indeed the novel "The Empress", but it was an abandoned draft of "The Empress", or perhaps the original outline.
"The third wave of assassinations, was it him?" Lu Jingchuan's usual voice was rarely filled with shock, and his voice became hesitant.
Qin Yuqing nodded slightly and told Lu Jingchuan the truth about what had happened, including the private minting of copper coins.
"How do you know?" Lu Jingchuan asked the same question as Park Qinghe. They are truly brothers.
Qin Yuqing was about to answer when she heard Lu Jingchuan say to himself, "No need to tell me, this is your trump card."
"Okay, I'll tell you when the time is right." This time Qin Yuqing laughed from the bottom of her heart. She actually hadn't figured out how to program the system. After all, this was beyond common sense.
Park Qinghe is a stubborn person, and he doesn't care about most of the things outside the Park family, so he won't delve into what Qin Yuqing's words mean.
But Lu Jingchuan was different. He obviously knew that there was something wrong with Qin Yuqing, but he chose to be blind and pretend that he knew nothing.
"The flower viewing in Wenshan is about to begin." Qin Yuqing could see the scenery outside the cliff through her window. She saw carriages heading towards this side.
Qin Yuqing thought about it, and to ensure everything was safe, she reminded him, "Don't forget what you promised me."
Lu Jingchuan nodded, took out the envelope from his arms again, and was about to hand it to Qin Yuqing to read, but then he remembered her words, so he honestly withdrew his hand and read it.
Qin Yuqing basically listened quietly, and only in a few moments would she ask questions out of confusion.
"You mean, who was the top scorer in the three-year imperial examination?"
"No one's checking?"
"This time the examiner is the Crown Prince, and the supervising officer is the Second Prince? How exciting is that?"
As the knock on the door sounded, Qin Yuqing and Lu Jingchuan agreed on a strategy. Maybe this time she wouldn't need to fight for it, as someone would help her.
"Princess, Eunuch Zhang is waiting at the door." Chuntao shouted outside the door.
Qin Yuqing glanced at Lu Jingchuan, then glanced at the cliff outside, and the meaning of driving him away was self-evident.
"There's a cliff over there." Lu Jingchuan stood up and said with a cold face.
"I know." Qin Yuqing's fox eyes narrowed with a sly smile, and with a hint of frivolity in his tone, he said, "This is the princess's boudoir, and I just rejected your marriage proposal."
"General Lu, you're not thinking that if the marriage proposal fails, you're going to make it a done deal, right?"
Lu Jingchuan's face turned red again. Without saying a word, he flipped sideways out of the window, grabbed the eaves with one hand and climbed onto the roof.
"Eunuch Zhang, I'm afraid I'm not feeling well and can't come to greet you." Eunuch Zhang is the eunuch beside the emperor, and he can't offend these eunuchs for the time being.
"It's okay, as long as the princess is fine, I'll just stand outside and wait for her to come out." Eunuch Zhang's voice was filled with laughter.
As soon as Eunuch Zhang finished speaking, Qin Yuqing saw Chuntao pushing something that looked like a wheelchair in. She scratched her head a little embarrassedly and said, "Time is a bit tight, I hope Princess doesn't mind."
Qin Yuqing shook her head, put her hand on Chuntao, and sat down carefully in the wheelchair.
Chuntao took a blanket and covered Qin Yuqing's legs, then took a cloak and tied it around Qin Yuqing.
"Princess, don't you know how to take care of yourself?" Chun Tao's voice was filled with heartache. "Once this is over, Princess, just stay in the palace and recuperate. Don't move around."
Qin Yuqing really hated being talked about, except for one person. In modern times, her best friend would talk about her the same way, saying that she worked too hard for work and to close projects, and didn't know how to rest properly.
Speaking of which, Chuntao's tone when she talked was really similar to that of her best friend.
Thinking of this, Qin Yuqing smiled and said perfunctorily as usual: "I know, I know, I will definitely not run around anymore."
"When you say that, I know the princess is teasing me."
"You, push me out quickly, don't let Eunuch Zhang wait too long." Qin Yuqing pointed her finger lovingly at Chuntao who was squatting on the ground and looked at her with concern.
"Okay, princess." Chuntao covered her head and giggled, pushing Qin Yuqing out of the room.
This thing looks like a wheelchair. Although it looks ugly, it is sturdy to push and it doesn't make your butt feel uncomfortable when you sit on it.
"Hey, Princess, how did you get yourself into this state?" Eunuch Zhang frowned and led the way. "His Majesty has ordered that the Sixth Princess does not need to perform formalities until her injuries have healed."
"I, your son, would like to thank you, Father." Qin Yuqing once again wore a harmless smile on her face. She asked tentatively, "Eunuch Zhang, do you know what I have been through along the way?"
"As soon as the princess was assassinated, the news reached the palace, and His Majesty flew into a rage," Eunuch Zhang said from the front. "If I had known the princess would be assassinated, I would never have let her go, even at the cost of my own life."
"But don't worry, Princess. His Majesty will investigate this matter thoroughly."
This eunuch's answer was flawless.
"Really?" I'm afraid that cheap dad will not only not investigate, but will also cover up the matter.
"Yes, His Majesty has always loved the princesses the most."
"That's truly a great honor."
They soon arrived at the main hall, but due to her difficulty walking, she was delayed for some time and was the last person to arrive.
Qin Yuqing saw Lu Jingchuan sitting next to Lu's father at a glance. At this moment, his face had returned to normal. He was listening to Lu's father's words with his head tilted, and there was a rare tenderness in his eyes.
"Is this the Sixth Sister?" A man in dark green clothes, who looked to be in his twenties, asked.
Although they were only there to enjoy the flowers and not to attend court, most of the officials were still in their official uniforms, and even Lu Jingchuan had changed into a new set of clothes. However, the man before her didn't need to wear an official uniform, and his smile was even more fake than hers.
This person is probably the supervisor of this imperial examination, the second prince Qin Junyi.
"Hello, second brother." Qin Yuqing greeted him with a smile. She pointed to her legs and said, "I need to rest for the next few days, so I won't greet you."
"We are all family, so why should we be polite and care about all those red tape?" Qin Junyi smiled gently and elegantly, just like what the original book said, a man as gentle as jade.
There is no way to tell that he is a traitor among Lu Zhongxin.
"Second brother, you're joking. We must not forget the proper etiquette." Isn't it just pretending? She can do it too.
"Second brother is the supervisor of this imperial examination. I just wonder if Sixth Sister's health will be good enough for the exam."
Qin Yuqing was about to speak when another man in light yellow clothes came over. He looked about the same age as Qin Junyi.
"Second brother, Sixth Sister will definitely get better before the imperial examination." He smiled innocently, looking like an honest man, but his tone was not very friendly. "Don't you think so, Second Brother? As a brother, you have to hope that your sister will get better, right?"
I'm afraid the only one who can wear light yellow clothes is Crown Prince Qin Youqian.
But in the original book, the emperor is an extremely weak and incompetent person, and it is unlikely that he would openly provoke the second prince.
Forget it, the personalities of several characters have collapsed anyway, so this prince won’t make any difference.
However, in the original book, although Qin Youqian was the prince, his ending was not very good.
It's not pretty in the literal sense, and the way he died in the end was a bit undignified.
"How could that be? Second brother, I'm so worried about my sixth sister. Prince, please don't make fun of me." Qin Junyi laughed and blocked the prince's words, "After all, it's rare to be appointed as an imperial examination supervisor. It's just a coincidence that my eldest brother is also appointed as an imperial examination supervisor this year."
"As a brother, I always hope that my sixth sister can see a different side of my brothers. Don't you agree, Your Highness?"
"So, second brother, do you mean that the other sisters can't come to see us?" Qin Qinqin's voice at this moment was like Qin Yuqing's savior. "Then I will be very angry."
"Fourth sister." Qin Yuqing looked at the person who came and nodded at her, saying, "Sister, I miss you so much."
"When did you sisters become so close?" Qin Junyi asked gently from the side.
"What do you care?" Qin Qinqin's attitude towards Qin Junyi was not very good.
In the original book, Qin Qinqin stood on the side of the prince from the beginning. After all, she was the prince's sister, and the prince's enemies were Qin Junyi's party.
According to the current situation, everyone is not yet at the point of falling out, and it is estimated that the first overt confrontation will occur during this imperial examination.
Qin Yuqing watched the show silently from the side. The more fiercely they fought in the early stages, the better it was for her. She could reap the benefits and gain more profits. After all, there was still a big fish hidden that she needed to catch.
"Crown Prince, Second Brother, Fourth Sister." Qin Yuqing thought of Wenshan's assassination. Park Qinghe's attitude was very clear. The other party must be a member of the royal family, but he probably didn't know who it was.
Considering Park Qinghe's disgust towards the princess, the person who wants to buy her head is most likely not a princess.
"My sister was assassinated in Wenshan. Do you know who assassinated me?" Qin Yuqing's eyes reddened as she spoke. She lowered her head helplessly, clutching the blanket with both hands. Her already thin body felt even more broken. "It was the Park family who assassinated me."
"How could it be a member of the Park family?" The shock on Qin Youqian's face didn't seem fake.
"Hasn't the Pu family been ransacked by the government? Could there still be remnants left in the world?" Although she didn't like Qin Junyi's choice of words, it seemed that he didn't know about this matter either.
"Which member of the Park family? Fourth sister will avenge you." Qin Qinqin's reaction was a bit exaggerated. A trace of guilt flashed in her eyes, but this emotion was not directed at her, but at the Park family.
Hiss, look at Qin Qinqin and Park Qinghe's emotional reactions.
Could it be that between Qin Qinqin and Park Qinghe...
Is there any melon to eat?
